Feeling full 24/7 Can't Eat :(



Recommended Posts

Today makes 2 weeks to the day that I was sleeved. My post-op was Thursday and dr said everything looked great. So far down 25lbs! I could move on to Soft Diet Phase yesterday but when I try to, two bites later I feel as if I'm so full with food up to my throat. Even drinking my Protein shots (only 2.9 oz) I can only drink 1/2 shot at a time. On top of that my stomach sounds like a thunder storm is going on in there. I'm assuming gas :/ Anyone have this issue? If so how did u fix it?

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

That's all very normal. I felt similar but now 4weeks out and I'm able to more. Just be patient and focus on ur Protein Drinks and Water. The rest will follow. At 3 weeks you should feel a difference. Just take it little by little. Good luck

Oh poor you :( I am only 5 days post op but my tummy makes the same sound I have been told it's lack of fibre try a fibre supplement , well done on your weight loss though .. Have you tried a Protein supplement (not a shake but like a powder ) you can sprinkle over the food you do eat or a tablet form so at least you are getting that ?

Sorry if this advice isn't helpful but good luck and I hope things improve for you

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
